I could see both ends, though I really don't tend to listen to atonal stuff (though I do like me some Ives every once in a while!). I do definitely agree that tonality is often seen as some sort of cliche, though I really don't see why. Atonality, though, I can't think of as un-emotional or not artistic... just a bit harder for our conditioned ears to comprehend, though I must say that twelve-tone row gets a bit far into the "elitist" realm of music.

I don't know, maybe I just need to hear more of it.
